| Summary: | any yield advantage over the normal-leafed counterpart. be partially due to hail damage that occurred to the below the .second ear and all leaves above it. The collars blade areas were calculated using a Delta T Area Meter and block design at the Texas A&M Research Farm near College called Extra-leafy or Leafy cultivars and have greater leaf Conveyor Belt Unit. Regression analysis showed that with the cut off from the stalk below the collar and included the leaf exception of hybrid 2000 Lfy, which had the greatest extra leaf production and rain yield of the leafy 9 fourteen hybrids were replicated four times in a randomized hybrids showing that the leafy genotype did not demonstrate hybrids were lower than the mean yields of the 6 normal hybrids. Fourteen hybrids were compared, including, eight hybrids. However, Lfy hybrids on the average yielded less Inadequate information is available concerning the yield leafed hybrids in the College Station and Springlake test Lfy and six normal-leafed industry standard hybrids. The locations. Significant hybrid X location interaction could material than the normal-leafed hybrids in the respective of greater than normal leaf areas. Such genotypes are performance of maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars with genotypes producers in both locations, there was a moderate production above the first ear. The extra leafiness gene, production of leaf matter but was one of the poorest grain relationship between leaf production and yield among Lfy respectively, grain yields were 10 and 257o less in the leafy single dominant gene. A study was conducted to compare the Springlake test. Mean yields in both locations of 8 leafy standards and to analyze regression relationships between Station, Texas and an identical experiment was performed in symbolized by Lfy, follows the inheritance pattern of a than the normal-leafed hybrids. Although leaf blade areas the fourteen hybrids in each replication, and relative leaf the panhandle region of Texas near Springlake. Leaves were were 6 and 4% more for the leafy hybrids than for the normal- were removed from the leaves of two representative plants of yield potential of Lfy cultivars to normal-leafed industry |
